Insurgency: Sandstorm is a hardcore tactical shooter from New World Interactive. There is no crosshair, the HUD is nearly bare, ammunition is counted in magazines rather than rounds, and most exchanges are settled in a hit or two. Matches run up to 14 versus 14 in PvP objective modes, backed by artillery and other fire support, light attack vehicles and HDR audio, while Checkpoint co-op sends a squad against AI defenders instead.

A dedicated Sandstorm server is how a community gets the version of the game it wants rather than whatever matchmaking serves up. You control the map and mode rotation, set bot counts and difficulty for co-op nights, apply mutators for hardcore or competitive rulesets, and keep an admin list so moderation does not depend on votekicks. Scrims and league fixtures need that level of control.

Game Host Bros runs Insurgency: Sandstorm servers on AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processors with NVMe storage in 14 global server locations, so a 28-player match sits near the people playing it. Choose your default map, scenario and game mode, switch to night lighting, and turn on mutators such as Hardcore, Hot Potato and Vampirism. Co-op servers can have their bot numbers and AI difficulty tuned, and adding a GameStats token lets players earn XP and keep their stats on servers without a join password. You can also add admins, set a message of the day and password-protect the server. Enterprise-grade DDoS protection, automatic backups and free migrations from another host are included.

Insurgency: Sandstorm is sold on Steam for Windows. Server rules live in plain configuration files, which makes a ruleset simple to edit, back up and copy to a second server for events.

Insurgency: Sandstorm server hosting from Game Host Bros starts at $7.99/mo. A Sandstorm server rental gives your community its own map rotation and rules, instant setup, automatic backups, DDoS protection and 14 global locations.
